I checked Dell's site and apparently my GPU will not power the highest resolutions of this monitor. XFX 6600GT. Is that true? In that case, I'll buy a new GPU damnit.

It will go up to 1920x1600 but you sure as hell aint gonna have playable framerates on a 6600GT.

I dont think anyone here payed over a grand for the 2405. You have to just wait for the coupons or get lucky calling in.

Actually, its 16ms. But I simply don't notice the ghosting and I used to play on a 8ms Hyunda L90D+
 
I don't see any ghosting at all on my 2405FPW and I play a shitload of games on it'.
 
Would there be any way to watch digital cable on the 2405 (using a SA 3250HD box with dvi out?)

Unfortunately a playable framerate for me is about 100 frames lower than most people. I grew up always have ing a computer 5 years older than everyone elses so I'm used to 15-20 fps. 1920*1440 right now everything works great. Of course my crappy motherboard prevents me from cranking everything, but I dislike the blurriness of anti-alias anyway.
 
Hi all,

Just wanted to bring you guys attention to this thread titled: Transporting a 2005FPW to the LAN. He makes hand-made PADDED carry cases for both the 2005 AND 2405 for those who frequent LANs alot! :D

Check that thread out to see what top notch craftmanship this guy brings to his work, and for those of us (like me...) who owns a 2405 wanting something else other than that huge ass box the 2405 came with!
